The Corridor 1995

[Aron Eugine]

TheCorridor (Lithuanian: Koridorius) is a 1995 Lithuanian drama film directed by Šarūnas Bartas. It has a fragmentary narrative without dialogue and depicts several people in Vilnius. According to the director, the title symbolizes "the atmosphere of a corridor between yesterday and today, containing many doors".[1]

David Stratton of Variety wrote: "The camera lingers on various characters, including a youth played by the director, who just sit or stand about, looking miserable. Nothing much happens. ... Whatever Bartas was trying to communicate in The Corridor is difficult to determine, and maybe only the initiated can work it out."[1]

The atmosphere of a corridor between yesterday and tomorrow, where many doors open into the unknown. A series of faces, gestures and images both real and imagined time. A fragmentary narrative without dialogue depicting several people in Vilnius.

Sarunas Bartas always spoke with the language of nature vs. human action in microcosms; such language can be understood through gestures, facial expressions, sounds and silences, all living together. Unlike Philippe Garrel, Bartas expects an emotional reaction from us. Stunning absorption of the senses.

i feel like the boy that got his childhood ruined by a failed ideology.. playing with coal rocks, burning sheets and getting secretly drunk to forget, except having better chances of living decently on the internet

A traumatised, post-collapse society struggling to find a purpose in its new life. Many faces that have nothing yet to say. The forlorn effort to try and find light and comfort in alcohol and one another. A voiceless poem made of masterful compositions.

İzbe bir yerde, rmeye başlamış bir apartman. Apartmanda yaşayanlar yoksunluk iinde. Arada sırada birbirlerine rastlasalar da iletişim kurmuyorlar. Kimsenin kimseyle ilgilenecek hali yok; ne yapacaklarını bilmiyorlar. ocuklar da başıboş, gn geirmek iin bilemedikleri bir endişe iindeler; hatta yakmak, yıkmak istiyorlar. Apartmandakiler bir ara koridorda buluşup iki imeye, şarkı syleyip dans etmeye başlıyorlar ama bu ok neşeli olduklarından değil. Hi olmazsa bir geceliğine unutalım her şeyi. Ki ertesi sabah yine aynı gne, siyaha yakın bir griliğe uyanacaklar.

The Corridor is a moody, meditative essay set at a time just after the independence of Lithuania from the USSR and in a claustrophobic apartment somewhere in Vilnius in which the titular corridor forms the zone through which the residents of the building must pass in order to meet each other.

Long lines of trucks waiting to be processed at state weigh stations may soon be a thing of the past thanks to advanced technology currently being tested on Interstate 75 and Canadian Highway 401. The Advantage I-75 Operational Test Project is using a system called MACS (Mainline Automated Clearance System) to process trucks electronically, thus eliminating the need to stop at multiple weigh stations during a trip in this corridor. With MACS, participating trucks can have their weight and credentials checked at highway speeds without exiting the mainline. The system began operating more than a year ago at four sites in Kentucky, but the two-year operational test officially begins in October 1995, when all 30 weigh stations on the corridor will be equipped with the system.

Trucking participants in the project are volunteers, selected from a list of applicants based on their safety records and vehicle inspection programs. A total of 4,500 trucks will participate in the test, representing a wide variety of trucking operations.

I-75 and Highway 401 form a major international trade and goods movement corridor, which is one of the longest and busiest for trucking on the continent. Truck volumes are in excess of 4,500 per day throughout the corridor from Toronto to Detroit to Miami a distance of nearly 3,200 kilometers (km). Trucks represent from 20 to 35 percent of the daily traffic on most interurban segments of the route. Truck traffic on I-75 and Highway 401 exceeds 9 billion vehicle km annually. The total annual value of motor carrier operating expenditures in the corridor has been estimated to be more than $7 billion. It is clear that the corridor is vitally important in the transportation of goods and services.

Inspection stations, or weigh stations, are an important element in motor carrier administration and enforcement. These stations provide the opportunity for state enforcement personnel to check the vehicle's weight, dimensions, and credentials and to ensure that the vehicle is safe to operate. In addition, the driver's condition and operating records can be checked. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to nearly an hour, depending on the weigh station configuration, the volume of trucks being processed, and whether or not the truck is inspected. Many weigh stations are unable to accommodate the high truck volumes passing through the stations; this results in frequent backups, long delays, and uncontrolled bypassing when ramps are full.

Weigh station stops are costly for truckers and, therefore, for consumers who use the product transported by truck. Time spent waiting in line, being weighed or inspected, or reviewing paperwork is non -productive time that results in a loss of efficiency and productivity. Deceleration, idling time, and acceleration result in higher fuel consumption and additional air pollution. The merging and diverging required at weigh station ramps creates a safety concern, particularly when long lines of trucks back up onto the mainline.

Advantage I-75 is a partnership of public and private interests along the I-75 corridor. The goal of the partnership is to reduce congestion, increase efficiency, and enhance the safety of motorists and other users of I-75 (and its connections in Canada) using advanced vehicle and highway technologies. These technologies are usually referred to as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The Advantage I-75 partnership has sought to identify areas where ITS technologies can be applied quickly to achieve immediate benefits.

The Advantage I-75 partnership had its beginnings in June 1990, when a concept conference was held in Lexington, Ky., to discuss the feasibility of conducting an ITS project for commercial vehicle operations on I-75. Conference participants endorsed the concept and formed a policy committee to guide development of the project.

Project partners include the Federal Highway Administration, the six I-75 states (Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan), the province of Ontario, the Canadian Ministry of Transport, U.S. and Canadian trucking associations, and various trucking companies. The lead agency for the partnership is the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The University of Kentucky's Transportation Center provides project staff and manages the operations center. The system design was performed by JHK & Associates. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is the System Manager.

The project currently being conducted by the Advantage I-75 partnership is an operational test of MACS. The objective of MACS is to allow transponder-equipped and properly documented trucks to travel any segment along the entire length of I-75 (and Highway 401 in Canada) with no more than a single stop at an inspection station.

MACS is based on the use of Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technology to electronically identify and process a truck while it is on the mainline. The AVI subsystem consists of truck-mounted transponders and roadside readers. Each participating truck has a transponder (installed in the cab) that is capable of two-way communication with the roadside readers. Each weigh station has a reader installed about 0.8 km in advance of the station, and an additional two or three readers in the weigh station complex (depending on the weigh station configuration). The transponders and readers communicate with each other via radio frequency transmissions in the 915-megahertz band, using a time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol, also referred to as "slotted aloha." The protocol has been placed in the public domain.

The basic operation of MACS is simple. When a truck begins a trip on the I-75 corridor and is processed through a weigh station, specific information about the truck and the transaction (e.g., date, time, location, weight data, axle data) is collected and stored electronically in the truck's transponder. As the truck continues its trip and approaches a subsequent weigh station, the information in the transponder is read by the roadside reader in advance of the station. The reader's computer processes the information, makes a clearance decision, and communicates this decision to the transponder. The transponder has built -in communication functions (red and green lights and audible tones) that signal the driver to either bypass or pull in.

One enhancement to the basic concept that is already being implemented is the use of high-speed, weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment on the I-75 mainline. When a truck begins a trip on I-75 and the first weigh station encountered has mainline WIM, even the first weigh station stop can be eliminated.

MACS is being installed at every weigh station on the I75/Highway 401 corridor from Miami, Fla., to Belleville, Ontario. This is a total of 30 weigh stations; 22 in the United States and eight in Ontario.
